Beyond the course lies the lawn — croquet, bocce, horseshoes, and a half-dozen more, set out for slow afternoons and friendly rivalries.
Not every game at Strawgrass needs eighteen holes. The Great Lawn is given over to the gentler sports — manicured courts and pitches set among the grass, equipment always at the ready, and a drink never far away. It’s where families spread out, weddings warm up, and the after-round rivalries are settled the old-fashioned way.
Everything is included for hotel guests and members. Bring the kids, bring the competitive streak, bring nowhere else to be.
The estate’s headline lawn game, played on a manicured court with proper mallets and wickets. Genteel on the surface, quietly ruthless once the roqueting starts.
Two crushed-stone courts for the oldest and easiest of lawn games. Roll close to the pallino, talk a little trash, repeat until sundown.
A true bowling green for the patient and the precise — all subtle weight and wicked bias, the most meditative game on the property.
Two regulation pits down by the treeline. Nothing says a Missouri evening quite like the ring of a ringer and a cold drink.
Tournament boards and bags always at the ready — the great social equalizer, equally at home before a wedding or after a round.
Toss the bolas, tangle the rungs, keep score if you dare. Deceptively addictive and endlessly competitive.
An oversized board set into the lawn, for slow games on long afternoons. Bishops you can lift with two hands.
A net for badminton and a set of Kubb — the Viking lawn game — for those who like their yard sports with a little history and a lot of laughter.
The Great Lawn is open daily from morning until dusk. Equipment is checked out at the golf shop or the pool house — no reservation needed for casual play. For tournaments, group games, and event setups, our team will set the whole thing up for you.
